Adequate nutrition is vital for growth and development of children. Methodology: The research approach adopted for this study was quantitative approach. An experimental pre test - post test design was adopted for conducting the study. Samples were underfive children between 2-5 years of age group residing at selected villages at Nellore. Data collection for a period of 6 weeks. The sample size of the study was 60 children with pica; subjects were selected by using Probability – simple random sampling technique by means of lottery method. The tool used for the data collection was interview based questionnaire and observational checklist to assess physical examination. Results: With regard to effectiveness of intervention on pica behavior In experimental group during post test 7(23%) had occasional pica and 23(76.7%) did not have pica. Where as in control group 11(36.7%) had occasional pica and 19(63.3%) had frequent pica. In experimental group, the post test, mean score on pica behaviour was 0.23 with SD of 0.035, where as in control group the mean was 1.63 with SD of 0.13. The calculated independent‘t’ test value was 15.35which exceeds the table value of 2 (p=<0.001). Hence, null hypothesis (H0) was rejected research hypothesis (H1) was accepted. Conclusion: Roasted bengal gram dhal and Jaggery ball showed improvement in nutritional status significant reduction in pica.","PeriodicalId":402175,"journal":{"name":"NARAYANA NURSING JOURNAL","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116888770","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is an uncontrolled growth of breast cells. The peak age for breast cancer is between 40 and 50 years in the Asian countries.There is no single specific cause of breast cancer; rather a combination of hormonal, genetic and possibly environmental events may contribute to its development. Aim: To assess the effectiveness of Structured Teaching Programme on prevention of breast cancer among women aged (30-60 years).Objectives: 1. To assess the pre-test knowledge of women regarding prevention of breast cancer. 2. To assess the post-test\u0000knowledge of women regarding prevention of breast cancer. 3. To compare the pre-test and post-test knowledge score of women regarding prevention of breast cancer. 4.To find out the relationship between knowledge regarding prevention of breast cancer and selected demographical variables. Methods: Quasiexperimental one group pre-test post-test research design and Probability systematic random sampling technique used to select 60 sample. Structured Questionnaire were prepared to assess the knowledge of women regarding prevention of breast cancer. Results: Study results revealed that in the pre test, majority\u0000of women (78.3%) had below average level knowledge, followed by 20% of them had average knowledge level and 1.7% of them had good knowledge. In Post test, maximum no. of women (58%) had good knowledge, 42% of them had average knowledge and none of them had below average level knowledge regarding prevention of breast cancer. Conclusion: It is concluded that there is a statistically significant difference between pre test and post test knowledge score. Thus, it shows that structured teaching programme was effective in improving the knowledge level of women regarding prevention of breast cancer.","PeriodicalId":402175,"journal":{"name":"NARAYANA NURSING JOURNAL","volume":"136 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123255975","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Breast cancer affects women of all ages, including those under the age of 30 yrs. Awareness about breast cancer is important for all women, and regular selfexamination should be part of health routine to spot any changes in breasts. Aim: Assess the effectiveness of VAT on knowledge regarding BSE. Methods and Materials: In view of accomplishing the objectives, a quasi-experimental research was conducted among 60 rural and urban women at selected community areas of Vijayawada. Results: The data were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics. The effectiveness of VAT on knowledge regarding BSE revealed that the pre-test mean= 8.63, SD of ± 3.78 and post-test mean=17.16, SD of ±6.39 and the calculated paired t value was t= 11.97 which was highly significant at p<0.01 level. When compare the rural and urban women posttest knowledge scores, the calculated unpaired t value was t=3.27 is considerably significant at p<0.01. Conclusion: Rural and urban women have difference in their knowledge levels regarding breast self-examination, after intervention the level of knowledge was increased. Education programmes are necessary for women in maximizing knowledge and improve quality life practice.","PeriodicalId":402175,"journal":{"name":"NARAYANA NURSING JOURNAL","volume":"88 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116098037","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is based on pseudoscientific system of zones and reflex areas that reflex an image of the body on the feet and hands, with the premise that such work effects a physical change to body. Reflexology work based on the blockage of an energy field, invisible life force, or can prevent healing. Another tenet of reflexology is the belief that practitioners can relieve stress and pain in other parts of the body through the manipulation of the feet.
